Graduate Toolkit
Graduate Outcomes survey
Graduate Outcomes is the biggest annual social survey in the UK, capturing the perspectives and current status of recent graduates.
Everyone who completed a higher education course will be asked to take part in the survey 15 months after graduation. The survey looks to understand whether you’re in employment, have continued with further study or are doing something else - and to what extent your qualification played a part.
Why should I take part?
- As the biggest annual social survey in the UK, your voice is powerful and will directly impact the future of education for prospective students
- It helps the University understand the choices you’ve made since graduation and how this reflects the skills you developed while in education
- It helps the government, charities, journalists, researchers and others to understand the higher education sector and the state of the graduate labour market
- Your success is reflected in league table rankings, improving the University’s reputation and, in turn, your reputation as a University of Leicester graduate
